We missed this while we were in Tokyo earlier this year. Another reason to come back!

[@bubba4072]

Cool! Thanks for showing us around, David ✌️

[@thomasrutledge1052]

We so need a Lexus cafe/restaurant at Sewell Lexus in Dallas!!!😎

[@elizabethwhite4606]

David, thank you for this tour of the Lexus building and café. The ambience looks spectacular and the food delicious. The Earth tones throughtout the building seem very calming and welcoming.

[@jonwarren101]

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing all of these aspects of Toyota and Japanese culture with us.

[@ashwin15644]

Very relaxing ambiance. Wish we had places like this in the US. Looks like I’ll need to plan a trip to Japan!

[@imghaniff]

The US is too broke.

Thank you Dave. I owned many Lexus and Toyota. I have four right now. 2006 LX470, 2006 LS430, 2020 LS500 inspiration series. And my Favorite. 2022 LC500 convertible. Amazing.

I am so going there on my trip to Japan.

[@VBinNV]

Thanks!

[@user-lf8wu5ri8n]

It's sad that Amlux in Ikebukuro and Megaweb in Odaiba are gone. I loved visiting those places!

[@orbitconsultinginc3579]

Very interesting video. Really enjoyed seeimg how amazing this factory is.

[@yajcaivplawv88]

First time in Japan back in March. I’m so impressed with the people and city of Tokyo and countryside. I checked out a lot of districts in Tokyo and love it. Will definitely go back there again!

[@CocoNut2018]

Was there last October. Wife loves the visit.

[@FlyGuyToo]

Looks great! Unfortunately it was not yet opened when I was in Tokyo in February. We did visit Intersect and they gave us a private tour of the lower level meeting room and “special” rest room after I showed them a photo of my 2020 LC 500 Inspiration Edition. Incredible design and very forward thinking!

[@garyclark6747]

Nice atmosphere. Thank you for letting David show us around. Thanks David for the brief tour. Enjoy‼️ 5:53

David, For those traveling to Japan without a Lexus budget, do they have A&W franchises? 🤔

[@greg5856]

So cool!! What a unique spot 😎

[@dtna]

The Lexus Hibiya Cafe got off to a bad start because it opened in 2019 when CV-19 started. Looks like it's dong well.

[@johnfromnewjerseyusa1369]

Thanks for the tour. (I only wish they had such places here, locally in the USA/Canada for us to patronize.)

[@alwayne5932]

Damn David 🤦🏾‍♂️…talk about organized & clean 😁 wow

[@VBinNV]

Thanks for all your content David. Hey---while there, can you find out if Toyota is producing the Crown Siginia for North American now or when they expect to ship. Thanks!

[@michaelvella8511]

I wish they had a replica of this in Canada

[@donayre21]

do you know if the 4runner hybrid or gas model will be out first?

[@luissantos4859]

He need to go Mexico Toyota plant and see how is their quality…using as example the Tacoma 😅

[@geraldhaliburton8544]

Looks like a very impressive venue. Look forward to additional post of interesting places you visit during the trip. Also please provide any updates you can on the status of the Crown Sport coming to North America

[@johnfromnewjerseyusa1369]

· *Could you please find out if Toyota has started manufacturing the new rear door latches for the 2023/2024 Prius recall.* · When will Toyota resume production of the Prius? · When will Toyota allow dealers to sell the 2023/2024 Priuses currently sitting on their lots? · Is the fix merely "replacing the rear door latches with new, waterproof latches"? · Or is the fix "waterproofing the area *around* the latches" while keeping the original rear door latches? Thanks for finding out what's going on!

Hi David, I’m glad you had a safe trip to Japan. This was a very cool video. My favorite part as you would guess is definitely the Lexus Café I think in my opinion there is nothing classy than Lexus in this in this whole wide world. I hope someday you do get the last Year of the Lexus LX 570 that would be the year. I have the 2021. It’s definitely going to be a classic looking forward to your videos from Japan. It’s always nice to keep in touch with the best of the best of the best thank you DAVID for all the hard work that you do, I have learned so much and I will continue to learn. I always consider myself as student and I just listen to the MASTER that has pretty much been everywhere. Following the best brands in the world and above all the quality control. I hope you get to meet with some Takumi craftsman on this tripin the Tahara factory and Moto Machi factory🇯🇵🤍❤️🙏😇

I like these short vlogs on cool stuff!
